If you’re throwing out names like Stamkos, Crosby or Ovechkin for the worlds greatest player then you’re an idiot. Points don’t make the best player. Never going to see any of them on the PK because they suck at defense.Worlds best player should go to a two way player like Toews or a younger Datsyuk. Those are complete players.

I don’t think you can call Sydney Crosby a poor defensive player. The reason he doesn’t log much (or any) penalty kill time is because he plays so much ice time already. If you were the coach of the Penguins, you’d be outside your mind to risk injury to the best player in the world by having him blocking shots on the penalty kill or risk having him be exhausted from playing extra PK minutes and not being fresh at the end of the game when you might need him to score.
Now, Ovechkin, on the other hand, is a player I wouldn’t put on the PK simply because he’s completely useless when it comes to playing defensively and having him out as part of your penalty kill practically turns a 5-on-4 in to a 5-on-3.5

I heard Boomer Esiason give an update on ‘IP this morning. He apologized to all other commissioners, and said that the NHL Playoffs are the most exciting thing in sports. He gave some positives about them, then ended with a negative – “However, I’d like to see them get rid of the ‘Michael Jordan Rules’, where guys like Crosby and Ovechkin get passes for diving and embellishment”. LOVED IT! Thanks, Boomer, for calling them out! It’s about time!

Yeah right dude. What a joke. Pens have no foreseeable goalie solution, and the Flyers do? You’d seriously rather not be in the playoffs then be in a series against the Islanders? How fuckin delusional are Philly fans?
